Urinary tract infections using indwelling urethral catheters Systematic review A systematic review is a scientific approach that examines different research studies and their results. The results of different studies are combined so that they can be studied more efficiently by researchers (Nieswiadomy, 2012, p. 279). Systematic reviews are important for evidence-based practices because they allow medical professionals to safely practice on patients. Evidence-based practices that are systematically reviewed reduce the risk of infections in patients and healthcare settings. Titles found - 1st search The first five searches you encounter when searching for urethral catheters in the Cochrane library are as follows: • Strategies for the removal of short-term indwelling urethral catheters in adults (Griffiths & Fernandez, 2009). • Types of urethral catheters for the management of short-term voiding problems in hospitalized adults (Schumm & Lam, 2010). long-term bladder drainage (Niël-Weise, Broek & Silva, 2012).• Policies regarding urinary catheters for short-term bladder drainage in adults (Niël-Weise & Van den Broek 2010).• Types of indwelling urinary catheters for long-term bladder drainage in adults (Patrick, Beutner, and Langer 2012). Systematic review found - 2nd search The PICO I will use is that adults undergoing short-term suprapubic catheterization have a lower incidence of UTIs than those with indwelling urethral catheters. systematic review that I chose to do for my PICO question entitled Policies of urinary catheters for short-term bladder drainage in adults (review)Systematic review summaryNiel-Weise and Van den Broek (200......half of paper .. ....997.pub3Niël‐Weise, Broek & Silva, (2012).
